ROCKIES RUMORS & GOSSIP
More on Jeremy Guthrie
I've been taking a scan at the other blogs such as Camden Chat, the Loss Column and the various forums during a lull in the workday here for a reaction to the Jeremy Guthrie trade. It's like everyone still wondering why it happened. Very few fans are pleased with it. I'm still dumbfounded by what happened yesterday with the Guthrie trade. It's not because he...

Rockies’ age-old question on opening day
DENVER — The Rockies got old fast this offseason. They have become the anti-Hollywood. While society is obsessed with staying young, the Rockies’ projected opening day lineup figures to jump from 28.4 to 32.4 years old.
If the players are better, it doesn’t matter if they are older. But the figure paints a clear picture of the Rockies’ striking transformation...

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies
The Orioles have traded workhorse starter Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies for SP Jason Hammel and RP Matt Lindstrom.While I am sad to see Guthrie go, he was likely gone at the end of the season anyway and would have commanded somewhere around $9 million in salary through arbitration this season. Like the Luke Scott situation, I'm not sure why Guthrie was still on the team and believe...

Not a fan of the Jeremy Guthrie trade...
This afternoon, I asked people's feelings on the Jeremy Guthrie trade on Twitter, and from what I got, people hate it. I'm a bit confused why this trade happened now (despite Guthrie's arbitration hearing) and what the team got in return. That being said, Dan Duquette held a press conference with the local and electronic media this afternoon about the trade. I didn'...

Coors Field and BABIP
This morning, the Rockies traded away Jason Hammel, a starter who has posted relatively high BABIPs over most of his career. While his .280 BABIP last year doesn’t look so bad, the distribution of when those hits came (.272 BABIP with bases empty, .291 BABIP with men on, .300 with RISP) – along with the .327 overall mark he posted in the prior two seasons – led...

Juan Nicasio: 2012 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
One of my favorite time-killing activities is looking through MLB team depth charts. I’m a very forgetful person, and with 750 players in the majors at any given moment (and another 450 rounding out each team’s 40-man roster) there are a lot of players who just sort of slip my mind.
Juan Nicasio was one of these players. Then, one day last week, I was looking at the Colorado...

Friday's agreement adds a $4.1 million salary for...

Cactus League Countdown: Colorado Rockies
It won't take much more than a quick look around this spring to recognize the new-meets-old dynamic that will likely determine how the Colorado Rockies bounce back from a disappointing 2011 season.
When the team arrives in full at Salt River Fields Feb. 27, it will do so as a group very different than the one that showed up for camp in 2011 with designs on a spot in the postseason...

The Rockies Fountain of Youth
The Colorado Rockies have been a youthful team for over a decade. Except for Todd Helton, they have unsuccessfully tried to thrive on young minor league talent in their system to supplement the wandering free agents. For the middle years of the last decade they were known as “Todd and the Toddlers”. Well, that will no longer be the case in Denver, Colorado on opening day 2012...

Scutaro A Perfect Fit For Rockies
The Rockies have had a confusing offseason, but there should be no confusion on their latest move, which was to acquire infielder Marco Scutaro from the Red Sox. The move, a salary dump for the Red Sox, is a clear win for Colorado.
Any devoted Rockies follower will tell you that the Rox have had their fair share of turnover at the keystone. The elder Eric Young was a mainstay for...

Rockies' Nicasio a feel-good story
Colorado Rockies pitcher Juan Nicasio is baseball's feel-good story. And spring training doesn't even start for four weeks.
Nicasio suffered a fractured C1 vertebra Aug. 5 when struck on the right side of his head by a line drive off the bat of the Washington Nationals' Ian Desmond. Nicasio was examined over the past weekend by the Rockies' medical staff when he...
